About this event
If you work in learning and development, you know a strong value proposition is not a nice-to-have. It shapes how people understand your work, how partners engage with it, and how programs earn attention, trust, and ongoing support. Growing FPP Value Prop for L&D Pros is an in-person gathering designed to help you think more clearly and talk more effectively about the value you create. This meetup brings together L&D professionals for a practical, community-centered conversation around how the FPP value proposition can grow, sharpen, and become more useful in real-world settings. If you want space to exchange ideas, pressure-test language, and hear how others are approaching similar challenges, this event is built for that. About the Event This is an in-person meetup for learning and development professionals who want to explore, refine, and strengthen the FPP value proposition in a way that feels relevant to their day-to-day work. Rather than a one-way presentation, expect a format that makes room for discussion, shared perspective, and thoughtful networking. The focus is not abstract theory for its own sake. The goal is to look at how a value proposition becomes clearer, more compelling, and more actionable for the people who need to communicate L&D impact inside their organizations and communities. That means talking about messaging, alignment, positioning, and the practical realities of getting others to understand why this work matters. Because this event sits at the intersection of community, networking, meetup, and social connection, it is also a chance to meet peers who care about the same questions you do. You will be in a room with people who understand the challenge of translating learning work into language that resonates with stakeholders, decision-makers, and collaborators. What to Expect Expect a gathering that is conversational, focused, and useful. The event is centered on discussing the growth of the FPP value proposition for L&D professionals, which means the agenda will likely prioritize active participation over passive listening. You should come ready to share, reflect, and compare notes with others in the room. Here is the kind of experience this meetup is designed to create: Context-setting conversation around what the FPP value proposition means for L&D professionals right now Peer discussion on where current messaging feels strong, unclear, or underdeveloped Networking time to meet others working in learning, enablement, talent, facilitation, or adjacent roles Idea exchange about how to communicate value more effectively across teams and stakeholder groups Informal collaboration that can help surface new language, new framing, and new opportunities Because the event is in person, there is also value in the moments between the more structured parts of the meetup. Side conversations often reveal what people are actually wrestling with: buy-in, differentiation, internal alignment, audience relevance, or how to explain the strategic role of learning without relying on generic language. You do not need to arrive with polished answers. In fact, this is a better space if you come with open questions, examples from your own work, and a willingness to learn from how others are thinking about similar issues. Why Attend A value proposition is only useful if people can understand it, repeat it, and act on it. This event gives you a chance to step back from the pace of execution and focus on how the FPP value proposition is being defined and communicated among L&D professionals who care about clarity and impact. Attending can help you sharpen how you describe your work and why it matters. That may be relevant if you are trying to build stakeholder confidence, improve engagement, align internal teams, or make the case for learning initiatives in a more direct and credible way. Stronger language often leads to stronger decisions. You should also attend for the peer perspective. One of the fastest ways to improve your own thinking is to hear how others are framing similar challenges. In a room of practitioners, you can compare assumptions, test ideas, and notice patterns that are hard to see when you are working in isolation. You may leave with: A clearer sense of how the FPP value proposition is being interpreted by peers Better language for explaining L&D value to different audiences Fresh perspective on positioning, messaging, and relevance New professional connections within the L&D community Greater confidence in discussing the strategic role of learning work Practical Details Location: In person Date: Friday, January 24 Time: 2:00 PM CST This is a live, in-person event, so plan to be present and engaged in the room. The meetup format makes participation especially valuable, since much of the benefit comes from discussion, relationship-building, and real-time exchange with other attendees. If you are deciding whether to come, the best reason is simple: this event is for people who want a more useful, more grounded conversation about L&D value. If you care about how the FPP value proposition grows from an idea into something people can actually understand and support, this is a strong room to be in. Bring your perspective, your questions, and your current thinking. You do not need a finished point of view to contribute. You just need to care about making L&D value clearer, stronger, and easier to communicate.
